--i...Yeh can butter me up all yeh want, Mr.Goulding<br />--it won't make a bit o' difference :-)<br /><br />The Tullamore Show Committee will mail all the entries to me this week. And, yes, indeed, each<br />poem will be judged anonymously. The poets' names will not be sent to me.<br /><br />Believe me when I say that I will give EACH entry careful consideration. I know what it's like to enter a poetry competition and be on tenterhooks awaiting the results (my most recent, the iYeats, where, alas, I didn't place anywhere). You can only hope that the judge/s<br />takes the time to carefully consider your work.<br /><br />Best of luck to everyone!Connie Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689448175317552618.post-86518015787756015422011-07-24T21:20:34.762+01:002011-07-24T21:20:34.762+01:00If I thought Connie could be swayed by mere flatte...If I thought Connie could be swayed by mere flattery, Michael, I'd go to town on her!<br />I'm presuming the competition is anonymous!Peter Gouldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292063172122249202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689448175317552618.post-51416764253343047372011-07-23T19:43:56.195+01:002011-07-23T19:43:56.195+01:00Perhaps your entry will end up in the poultry sect...Perhaps your entry will end up in the poultry section! Flattering the judge is always a good move Peter, indeed Connie would certainly have won it if she had entered! P.S.

Does that answer your question.
